WI 17-18 10.1 Readers Also Enjoyed
I didnt claim anything last season but I did read a bit including A Canticle for Liebowitz that was intended for the cleric task.Currently on the Readers Also Enjoyed, in case it changes:
Where Late the Sweet Birds Sang
A Case of Conscience
The Demolished Man
This Immortal
The Einstein Intersection
my question similar to Beth's. This is my first seasonal challenge, but I read about 30 books over Sept-Nov. Can I just pick one of them and do the Readers Also Enjoyed?

I'm not sure yet what I'll read, but I'd like to lock in a couple of possibles:Now in November from Olive Kitteridge

I can only say I gave Now in November 5 stars.
I think I will read either The Late-night News (from Death in Brittany) or Caleb Williams (from Uncle Silas). Can I have them approved, please?

Could I please clarify, for us who participated & posted for Fall, do we choose one book we posted for or can it be any book read last season whether or not we claimed them for RwS?

Does it have to be a book we posted for RwS last season, or can it be any book we read? Since I only posted 5 but read more (not tons like in the summer as my schedule is busier) I am asking.
